Ooo nice recommendation. I've actually purchased Warband on Steam, but I didn't play it that much. I played the Multiplayer in Mount and Blade: Napoleonic Wars (expansion). Really enjoyed it for a few months.

As for campaigns like that, I guess I'm not so into it as it's a bit slow for me. Although, I did enjoy the Total War campaigns. Maybe I'm just used to or enjoy the combat more or like it better because I understand what's going on.

Eleven years later and Mount & Blade Warband is still one of the very best (GOG, Steam). It is one of my most played games, ever. It takes place in a fictional medieval realm. You create your character, pick your backstory (nobles get more starting money and charisma, smiths get a bonus to strength, hunters get tracking and movement speed bonuses, etc), pick a town, and then you're let loose. You can hire a few guys and roam around the countryside with your merry men, attacking bandits (or become bandits!) and complete jobs for the local towns and villages such as escorting caravans or herding cattle. You can sign up to fight as a soldier in a lord's army, climbing up the ranks until you've got your own set of armor and some money, and can either pledge your loyalty to a king and become a full fledged vassal, or leave the army with your armor and your sack of money to strike out on your own. You can build a trading empire, establishing businesses in towns, trading goods between towns and villages for profit. You can use your wealth to build an army and climb the ladder, becoming a lord of a village, garrisoning your castle, or holding a town and managing the region. You can develop your relationship with other lords, convince them to aid you in your plans, frame other lords to kick them out of the area, and go to war with the other nations. You can establish your own nation as well, and so on.

Mount & Blade is really easy to mod. Unlike games like say, Skyrim and Minecraft, you don't need a mod manager and need to spend dozens of hours trying to find the right mod order or resolving conflicts and crashes. For Mount & Blade, you just need to download the mod, drop it into M&B's mod folder, launch M&B, and select that mod. All done! It's simple and easy, and M&B has tons of mods. There are total conversions based around a theme, such as Star Wars, ASOIAF/Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, the Wild West, Viking invasions of Britan, the Napoleonic Wars, and so on.

If you just want to get a grasp of the base game, you can start your first game without any mod installed, and then if you want to amp up the complexity, you can just drop in the Diplomacy mod, and you won't even need to start a new save.

Gekokujo revamps the otherwise typically medieval setting into Sengoku period of Japan, when every clan was out for themselves. There are no shields or plate armor, horses are rare so you can't just charge through arrows anymore. You have to be conscious of the terrain. Assaulting castles are now incredibly difficult as you must have enough forces to survive climbing the steps while being rained upon by arrows. You can't hire a thousand guys anymore; you have to own at least a town or two with several businesses just to be able to pay off your army of 300+ in the field, much less the troops you keep garrisoned at your town and paroling your territory. Thus, you can't go around conquering on your own anymore. You must cooperate with the other lords to take land and to repel invasions. it takes a very long time of building slowly building up my connections with the people of the land and lords, establishing a steady cash flow, and then slowly acquiring territories and developing my properties. It feels immensely satisfying to finally become a Daiymo with six or seven towns under my belt after a couple hundred hours of play time.

Perisno revamps Mount & Blade into a fantasy setting, where in addition to humans, you can play as Tolkienish a dwarf, elf, or (my personal favorite) giant. You can also charge in with your cavalry on fantastical mounts such as mammoths or dragons. Aside from the mechanical changes, my favorite part about Perisno is the lore. It feels like the world of Perisno is storied, and there are a lot of questchains and events that flesh out the world.

this thread is about slay the spire and one of its playable characters - the defect

im looking for something similar, in any game, be it moba, mmorpg, whatever
what i like about it is the sphere mechanic (u can swap the sphere for anything else). the mechanic where i have to manage different kind of orbs, that they work both passively and actively
it makes for a really nice gameplay

[Zimmersion]

Hey guys, i wanna suggest a game, called Albion Online. It is a MMORPG(if u played runescape its similar), player driven economy, crafting, gathering,ganking, large PvP fights, anything.There is solo content too if u dont like to play with others, but the game itself its group/guild/alliance based.You can learn everything with 1 character, so there is no classes like only mage or only hunter sth like that. The game is free, and its not P2W and yes, you can buy premium for money, but you can buy it with in-game silver, and its quite affordable.
If u want to give it a try, please register through my referral

Looking for games like Oxygen Not included/the ones I have listed (even better if they are multiplayer). I am aware of Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, Planetbase. I have played Factorio, Gnomoria, Prison Artitect, Surviving Mars, Banished, Craft the World, Terraria, multiple Annos and Don't Starve.

Thank you

We Need to Go Deeper? I feel like it has a similar atmosphere to Oxygen Not Included.

Anyone got a good sci-fi game for me? Something to scratch the itch that I'm getting while waiting for The Outer Worlds. I would prefer an RPG, one with life elements or survival being a main aspect. The kind of thing where combat isn't the sole focus. I could use some escapism right now.

- - - Updated - - -

BUT I do want some good combat action in there, too. I want some raygun-to-the-face catharsis.

[SpikeySquad]

Thank you. I have seen the name but didn't really look into it so I will now. Good luck in finding a new one for you.

[PACOX]

Anyone have thoughts on Astroneer vs No Man's Sky?

[Muajin76]

Has there been any word or rumor if Palladium will ever get a RIFTS mmo made?

[notanmmmonewbie]

Can anyone recommend a looter-shooter similar to Destiny 2? something with the same kind of Guild Wars 2-style open world stuff that D2 has. Where you can go around and do your own objectives but people will come together for events and once the events are done they go their own separate ways again.

I have Warframe but it seems like you have to manually group up with people. And from what i've heard people just rush to the end of dungeons there anyways. I have Borderlands 2 which i got for super cheap but havent had time to play it yet but i think that its mostly SP with COOP being something that you have to manually setup. I tried the Division 2 a few days ago when it was on some kind of free deal but i think Destiny 2's control setup spoiled me haha.

So what other games are there i can look at?

Hey, I'm looking for a very specific game. I do not have a game in mind that I need the name of, but I would like to "get to know" a new game.

I'm sure there are people out there whose knowledge of computer games is almost limitless.

The game does not have to match all the criteria but the more – the better.
I'm looking for a game:

• where you can mine / collect different resources and / or ores
• where these resources can then be processed (or something like that)
• in which many things can be upgraded
• where you do not have to be permanently active but also do not have to wait 3 hours
• which is free at best
• which is available either as a browser game, for Windows as a download, or for iOS
• which could be seen similar to Minecraft Feed The Beast Infinity Evolved in 2D or text based
• which may be an online game or has a community or market for trades
If you have any ideas, please let me know!

Wrong forum for this, but I suppose Ark would check most of those boxes, though it wasn't for me personally. It's not 2D or text based though, nor is it free.

There's really nothing out there quite like FTB as far as I'm aware.

It's not free, but Rust fits nearly all of these. Although I'm going to give you fair warning that the community can be pretty toxic, and PvP is a thing. Although there are also "PvE" servers where the PvP combat is disabled.

[YUPPIE]

these are some incredibly niche games but I can't quite find anything like them.

Basically limited open-world or sandbox games with a ticking global timer that will end your game with a bad ending or start over if ran out. You race against the clock to reach a proper ending or goals with the dynamics of the games changing based on the timer or how you progress (i.e new side quests depending on day, standard bosses turning into superbosses, etc).

It's pretty unique but still

[Twinkelle]

I'd like to know too, to be honest. I loved doing my Saint play-through in DR1, terrible AI aside.
